Job description

Overview

The Ocular Oncology service at Moorfields Eye Hospital is well established and recognised internationally as a centre of excellence. It is a nationally commissioned tertiary referral centre which accepts eye cancer referrals from all over the country. The service has a long standing reputation for training Ocular Oncologists from around the world who then establish a service in their own countries.

Responsibilities

• Consulting with new and follow‑up patients in a clinical setting under the supervision of a senior doctor.
• Consulting with new and follow‑up patients in a virtual setting.
• Participate in regular operating lists alongside the lead surgeon and become fully trained in specific ocular oncology surgery.
• Attend and participate in the weekly MDT by presenting cases and contributing to educational discussion.
• Lead on ward work, ensuring investigations are ordered, performed and reviewed prior to surgery and enabling prompt discharge of patients after surgery.
• Participate in Ocular Oncology and Naevus clinic audits.

Ward work: the ocular oncology service is a tertiary referral centre for intraocular and ocular surface tumours. Patients are admitted to a hostel one day before surgery to allow time for pre‑operative investigations, which avoids the problem of patients travelling long distances back and forth to hospital. The main part of the ward work is to ensure investigations are ordered, performed and reviewed prior to surgery and to enable prompt discharge of patients after surgery.

Theatres: the ocular oncology specialty has a high surgical volume which consists of:

• Three adult theatre lists a week at Moorfields Eye Hospital (City Road)
• One retinoblastoma list at Royal London Hospital
• One theatre list a month at St Bartholomew's Hospital for patients who are high risk for general anaesthesia
